Presentation was made at conclusion of the program honoring Walsh, held Tuesday evening of this week. (Continued from Page 1) during the past year conducted i he meeting. It was apparent from his opening statement .hat he had no desire to be a candidate again, and at that point speculation as to his successor took shape. Levesque's name was placed in nomination by James D. Holmes of Door 1. When ballot counting indicated that . tickert had some over 2,000 out of a possible 14,000 votes, .ie immediately withdrew so hat the nomination could be unanimous. There are seventy- ;ivc committeemen in the county, and each votes according to the strength of his precinct. * Levesque, formerly committeeman in Precinct 1, now holds that post in newly created Precinct 12.

If you dabble in oils, model in clay, try your hand with water colors, 'casein or ceramics, then you're more than welcome to join the ejftubitors at t he Country Art Fair. "The more the merrier," says Co- Chairman Gertrude Gladstone. Mrs. Gladstone hastens to add that the Art Fair is by no means an all-professional show. ^'Quite the contrary," she says, "one big reason for the Country Art Fair is to encourage beginning artists, the week-end daubers. Amateurs compete in their own class, for their own prjzes. I've seen many a firsttimer come up with a ribbon." Varied Subject Matter There are virtually no limits on techniques or subject matter. At the Art Fair you will see still lifes along with landscapes ;-- portraits and abstractions side by side, not to mention a wide range of sculpture. The choice is up to the artist. Besides the thrill of seeing their own work on display, ar- £ARL WALSH SEES LIFE'S ACTIVITIES UNFOLD TUESDAY (Continued from Page 1) when "Chuck" , was his- office j boy. i The year 1935 proved one I of his biggest, for it was then : that he took over the Plain- ' dealer column "So I Hear." gtound music was "My Wild Sharing in his pride over thai Irish Rose." particular incident in his life j His early life was recalled ! was Marion Anderson Reinlee I his sister, Mrs. Robert of Chicago, who named his col- !
